Oud & Dumbeg

This week we are featuring instruments that reflect the Armenian-American musical experience. These pieces are on display in our second-floor galleries as part of a music exhibition mounted in honor of the late Fred Margosian, a dedicated member of our Board of Trustees. In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian explains how the oud and dumbeg became two of the most important instruments in Armenian-American music.
